Dan's Remakes - May Update
2008-05-27 14:31:00 After a quiet couple of months on the remakes front I'm back in business.There have been a couple of issues that I've been wanting to resolve before moving on with newer stuff, one relating to Windows, the other to Windows and Linux.The main one with Windows is to do with BlitzMax and they way it works (or fails to) with some graphics cards. The method I'd been trying of autodetecting what display mode should work (DirectX or OpenGL) doesn't always work - sometimes leaving you with a black screen.I didn't want to have to go back to having two binaries for Windows, so I've set RetroRoids up to accept command-line parameters to force it to use one method or the other. I've also used an MSI installer package to distribute the game, which includes shortcuts for both modes (and for the readme).Hopefully that should sort things out permanently for Windows.The other issue relates to packing games. If RetroRoids is going to work for regular users when installed then the configurat...

Cam'ron Remakes Cyndi Lauper's 'Girls Just Want To Have Fun'
2008-04-07 15:03:00 Rapper Cam'ron has always been a wrestling fan and a fan of Wrestling Hall of Famer Captain Lou Albano, who was prominently featured in Cyndi Lauper's 1984 "Girls Just Want To Have Fun" video. MTV.com reports that the rapper has recorded a remake of the song which will be the second single from his forthcoming album, Purple Haze. Cam'ron said, "I always loved the record. I was 4 or 5 when it came out. I was a wrestling fan, and Captain Lou Albano was in the video. At this point in my career, seeing what girls are doing, I thought it was time to bring it back out. They be wilding! I think it's gonna be a good summer record. The way I wrote my 'Girls Just Want To Have Fun,' it was a sequel to 'Stop Calling' off my last album. The dude keeps calling me, asking about his girl and where she's at." The rapper explained that the video for the song will feature the rapper, his friends, and several women partying on a yacht while a jealous boyfriend chases the ya...

This Week I Have Mostly Been Playing: Hover Bovver 2
2008-02-21 20:41:00 Most games easily fit into one or more categories. Shoot-em-ups, platformers, RPGs, there is a category for pretty much every game. Then there are games like this. Mow-em-up perhaps? Third person lawner? I'll have to think about this.It's a lot less bovver. . . . .So what is the game about eh? Well, in a nutshell, you need to mow your lawn. Sounds simple? Not in this garden it isn't. You see, you've had to borrow your neighbor's lawnmower and he wants it back. Not only that, but if you mow the flowers you'll have an angry gardener to deal with.Luckily your dog is on hand to chase off your pursuers, but watch out, the more he chases them, the less happy with you he'll be. As if that wasn't enough you also have to make sure your mower doesn't overheat, so don't mow too much grass in one go. Mow enough of the lawn and sheep will come out to help eat the grassNot to mention the mole hills, dog mess and other obstacles that you'll encounter as the game progresses.W...
Dan's Remakes February update.
2008-02-17 12:01:00 The latest from Dan's Remakes.First things first, RetroRoids has been updated to 1.20. This will probably be the final release of the game. It was partly a bugfix release, adding things like a joypad deadzone to allow XBox 360 controllers to work with the game, and partly a release to add the final "polish" to the game.Following on from RetroRoids there will be another new game, based around an updated version of the game engine.Gravity has been added into the mix and a new original game will be coming soon. Yes, that's right, original. Well, fairly original. It won't be directly based on any existing game, although it obviously bears some resemblance to Gravitar, Thrust, Space Taxi, Lander and probably others too.Now onto Batty Junior. Although this game has been "on holiday" for a bit, I'm going to have to bite the bullet and finish off the single player game. In all honesty there isn't a lot left to do, so once I'll have to look towards finishing that bit off before ...

Dan's Remakes - Moving on up
2008-01-02 21:02:00 For the past year or so I've been using my "free" webspace that was provided by my service provider - a rip-roaring 55meg of space. Unfortunately now that I'm releasing software for Windows, Linux and Mac my games now take up three times as much space as they used to.The upshot of this is that the site and downloads is now pushing 40meg which means that sometime this year I'll be out of space.I'd had a look last year at an alternative host, but had the problem of some very restrictive bandwidth limits.I'd also had a bit of a look at Google Pages when it was first in beta. The 100meg of space is certainly attractive, but the built-in web editor didn't really do it for me and the thought of redesigning the entire site to fit in with Google didn't appeal.Well, I've had another look at Google Pages and have discovered that I'd missed something. That something is the "upload file" facility. Now if the worst came to the worst I could always upload the binaries and still use m...

Caine Hates Remakes
2007-11-24 05:57:00 SIR Michael Caine hates movie remakes because they "lack imagination". The British actor has seen many of the movies he originally appeared in be remade, including "Get Carter" and "Alfie," and he believes new adaptations of old films are just lazy.But Caine insists the 2007 remake of "Sleuth" can't be classed as such - because the Harold Pinter-penned screenplay has made it into a "brand new movie". He says, "When they said they wanted to remake Sleuth, my first thought was, 'Why make it at all?' I do not like remakes. It shows a lack of imagination. But once I saw the script for "Sleuth," I realised it wasn't a remake at all. It's a brand new movie." (JC/WNBTIS/MT)http://simpletric-ksblog.googlepages.com/bookmark-.txt

Sanjay Leela Bhansali to Remake Khamoshi
2007-11-08 11:09:00 Sanjay Leela Bhansali is already planning his next project and the director is all set to remake his own film! Khamoshi, which was Bhansali’s first directorial venture, garnered a lot of critical acclaim however failed to set the box office on far. Now Sanjay wants to correct his mistake and remake it. As a fan of the original, I cannot fathom anyone else doing justice to Manisha Koirala, Seema Biswas and Nana Patekar performances. The movie was brilliant and sans any melodrama, which Bhansali is now famous for.

Himesh Reshammiya In Remake Of Karz
2007-08-09 10:29:00 Subash Ghai’s Karz was a classic in every sense and it’s hard to imagine anyone filling up Rishi’s Kapoor shoes in the proposed remake. Unfortunately for Bollywood fans, the Nasal Blunder turned ham actor Himesh Reshammiya has been cast in the remake of the 1977 musical blockbuster Karz. At least we here at Our Bollywood warned you in advance!"At the moment I can only say I'm planning my look and performance. And yes this time I want to win over the critics as well," Reshammiya told IANS.Giving details on the project, producer Bhushan Kumar of T-Series said:"Yes we've purchased the remake rights of Subhash Ghai's timeless classic Karz with Himesh playing Rishi Kapoor's part.

Remakes and freemakes spree again
2007-08-05 19:27:00 A theory could be formulated on the trends in the film industry. Be it with the titles, genre of movies, remakes and freemakes etc. A specific trend could be noticed from time to time. After a gap, for giving a chance to original stories, the makers seem to be back on remakes and freemakes. In the recent times, there are several Tamil films and Hindi Films that were bought for astronomical prices to be remade into Telugu. And on the other hand, there are always these 'inspirational' Hollywood freemakes. As per the sources there are two films in production at present that are based on Hollywood films. One film is Bruce Almighty starring Morgan Freeman and Jim Carey. Second one is Leonardo Di Caprio's Catch Me If you Can directed by Steven Spielberg. The film based on Bruce Almighty has a young hero playing the lead while the Almighty is played by a top star in the industry.http://feeds.feedburne-r.com/telugumovies

It’s also a pity that film-makers of today only know how to make slapstick comedies and they should take a pointer or two from comedies of yesteryears. Now TV actor- turned-film producer Vishwaas Paandya has acquired the rights of the film and so be prepared for a remake."It will be more of an adapted version. I have to keep in mind the changing times as well, but the film will retain its middle class values”, said Vishwaas.

Best Remakes of All Time
2007-04-19 16:00:00 I'm sure you could add others but my criteria was whether the cover was better than the original (or at least as good as, but in a new and exciting way).Here goes:1. Route 66 by Depeche Mode. It's a bit embarrassing to admit I'm still a Depeche Mode fan. I had to Google the original artist, I wasn't sure if it was Nat King Cole--it was. But this classic song has also been sung by The Rolling Stones, Manhattan Transfer, Buckwheat Zydeco and The Cramps (and I cheated on those last two--have you even heard of those bands?) If you want to hear more, try itunes--I bet there are others who've sung it too, but D.M. has the best version. 2. Hotel California by The Gypsy Kings. This is one of the greatest American songs ever. EVER. I'm not saying that the Gypsy Kings sing it better, but their version is so fun, so ethnic, so cheerful (and as we all know, Hotel California is all about sunshine and rainbows) I love it. It may not be better but it's a unique version that's terrif...

2007-01-15 08:30:02 Filed under: Comedy, Horror, MGM, Remakes and SequelsAs both a passionate fan of the old-school horror movies AND a ravenous devourer of all the new horror movies, I'm of two minds where Remake Mania is concerned. Mainly I think churning out a bunch of remakes is a cheap and obvious way to make a few extra bucks without putting in a little extra work ... and most of the flicks I'm presently thinking of really bear this theory out. But every once in a while one of these remakes turns out to be a surprisingly creative and admirably respectful homage to a horror classic ... even if it doesn't happen too often.For every half-decent re-do like Dawn of the Dead, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre or The Hills Have Eyes, I'm asked to struggle through a virtually endless deluge of worthless non-horror flicks that exist SOLELY because, well, people recognize the name. (You don't think Dimension remade Black Christmas because they thought they could somehow improve upon the original, do you? He...
